Switching to Broadband

[yukine]

I was using this 2.4Ghz wireless antena on my old PC back in 2010:

It was connected to a wireless network adapter which was built in in my old PC,now I`m in a need for a wireless antena and I was thinking to re-use this one if I could.
Is there a way to connect the end on the cable and make it a broadband end like on my new PC
like this one:

The cable end looks like this:

(its messy beacuse its sitting in a shed for years)
Hope you understand what I am thinking,I want it becasue I cant connect it like before because laptop doesnt have that kind of thing.

No idea of what you are actually trying to do, but no...you can't splice a coax cable into an ethernet cable.

NO. A WIFI antenna as you show requires a radio receiver. The ethernet cable has no radio associated with it. If your computer does not have WIFI on the motherboard, then you would buy a WIFI card similar to this :

OK,I understand now,is there maybe some kind of adapter that can be hooked up to laptop to fix this?

You can find USB wifi adapters with a detachable antenna.
